2.5L Rocket Stroker Engine Kit with 6 Speed Transmission (R&D)

[R-III-R Turbo]

So excited for you !

Looking at videos on line of folks who run big engines just to see them run (aircraft, tank, tractor, railroad, stationary, etc.) most have stout mounts to keep the engines in one place.

Yours seems to be posed for the eye candy. We'll know you're ready when we see the straps/steel stabilizers.

And as you've done previously, when you post that, we'll want the video with the associated sound track.

Big fan club awaiting your next release.

I purposefully waited until now to reply to this Paul.
Reason being, running the engine without any tie downs was the acid test of balance that I needed to be brave and carry out.

I had no quantitative specification for engine vibration, merely qualitative.
The acceptance criteria was that the engine must run as smooth (or smoother) as the stock 2.3L.

The 2.5 stroker ran as smooth, then I had succeeded, accomplished balance first attempt.
You can see it sit still idle up to 4000rpm, and (unlike the 2.3L runs) not one thing like a screwdriver or multimeter vibrates off the bench.

There is a torque reaction evident when I poke the throttle, like the stock motor this is one of it's attractions.

If I had it tied down, I wouldn't know.

I'm so impressed ! Well done !

Still looking for the 6-gear kit.

It's ready to transplant into a Rocket chassis now... can't wait!!

Little nugget of mildly interesting info, this engine idled around 485mmHg MAP when in 2.3L form, now at 2.5L it idles around 465mmHg. So the longer stroke pulls a little more vacuum.

Ok so as i wait patiently until Christmas so I have time off to go do the engine swap, I'm keeping busy with a few bits.

Got this T-shirt made up for myself, think it would also be cool to throw one in with any kits sold.

Also, could do with you guys' help here, I want to get an oil tank embellisher made up for my 2.5L engine, and maybe included in the kits too.
Wondering what to put on it..... something like below..?

Suggestions welcome
